As you all know, the code name for that release is Windermere. It is scheduled to release by the end of the year and authorized beta is expected to expand in June. The product has been in an SDK/API beta since January.

As the blog has solicited input regarding decisions that will impact Windermere, there was a need to communicate back to this audience and update each blog affected. Here are a list of decisions that because of your input and feedback, we have adjusted our solution.

This is Part 5. Engineering will very quickly be winding down the changes and new development that will be in the Windermere release. Engineering continues to find things they want to share and socialize with the GroupWise Community.

This is part 4. As plans, decisions and schedules are finalized regarding Windermere – there are several things to share and socialize in order to help you and your organization move forward with Novell and GroupWise.
